Now that the sun is out in Seattle, the staff at Amai Day Spa wants to remind you how important it is to wear sunscreen every single day. Our trained Estheticians do their best to make your skin look radiant when you come in for your monthly facial, but there is nothing you can do to undermine your treatment more than not wearing sunscreen regularly.
Sun damages your skin on many levels. A lot of the damage happens on the lowest layers of your skin showing up years later as wrinkles and dark spots. If you're thinking that your skin isn't damaged because you haven't burned, you are wrong!
You also need to be choosing a sunscreen that offers broad protection from UVA and UVB light. Not all sunscreens offer broad protection - so be sure to do a little research before investing in sunscreen.
We offer a couple of great sunscreen options including products by Pevonia and by Skinceuticals that both offer great protection from both UVA and UVB rays, but you don't have to use one of our products - we just want you to protect your skin!
If you are worried about looking too pasty, we offer a great self tanning product by St. Tropez that creates a beautiful brown tan - no oranges here!
So we encourage you to get out there and enjoy the sun - these are some of the best days that Seattle has to offer, but please protect your skin!
